Worth Reading

I don't have a new event to share with you, but instead a great article in The New York Times about the Boston marathon. It is written by a runner who competed in the 1967 Boston marathon, and was pushed by an official who couldn't believe a woman was running in the race. The story is a great one for women to see how far we have come in the forty years since her incident. It's always so astounding to me to see this kind of ignorance against all types of minorities, especially against women just a few decades ago! Please read it, it's really inspriring and a great representation of women's roles in sports today.
